Quote by Robert William Service, The Pass

My pipe is out, my glass is dry;My fire is almost ashes too;But once again, before you go,And I prepare to meet the New;Old Year! a parting word that's true,For we've been comrades, you and I--I thank God for each day of you;There! bless you now! Old Year, good-bye!

My pipe is out, my glass is dry;My fire is almost ashes too;
